-Cloud seems to be notably stoic and melancholy but this however is very different from his personality in ''Final Fantasy VII''. These traits would later be adopted in ''Advent Children''. In spite of this, he is seen engaging in playful banter with Leon during the 1,000 Heartless invasion of Hollow Bastion, hinting at a friendly rivalry between the two.

 In an interview, {{w|Kazushige Nojima}} stated that while Cloud makes a big deal of looking for Sephiroth in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', he is actually running from something, the "something warm" that Tifa was after in ''Advent Children''.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts II Ultimania]]''''', pg. 718; '''Interviewer:''' "This was the first appearance of Tifa from ''Final Fantasy VII''." / '''Kazushige Nojima:''' "Tifa wasn't planned to appear at first. I was talking with Tetsu about what Cloud could be doing in Hollow Bastion, and we eventually moved towards him chasing after Sephiroth, but also being chased by something himself. So Cloud's really running from something, but goes around pretending, saying that he's chasing Sephiroth. Then we decided to make it him running from the 'something warm' like what Tifa was after in ''Advent Children''."</ref><!-- https://thelifestream.net/lifestream-projects/analysis/4698/the-love-triangle-of-ffvii-an-analysis-by-squall_of_seed/7/ & https://www.ign.com/faqs/2014/final-fantasy-vii-plot-analysis-faq According to online sources, this interview was originally on KH2.uk.co, but we need a direct source and credit the translation-->

 {{ff|Cloud Strife}} was originally the main protagonist from ''Final Fantasy VII'', a console role-playing game that was developed by {{w|Square Co.|Square}} and published by {{w|Sony Computer Entertainment}} for Sony's {{w|PlayStation}}. It was released in Japan on January 31, 1997, and in North America on September 7, 1997.
-Cloud was born and raised in the small town of Nibelheim, the same village Tifa is from. When he was 14 upon learning of the legendary hero [[Sephiroth]] and to impress Tifa, he aspired to be in {{ff|SOLDIER}}, an elite military group working for the Shinra Company.

-Contrary to his journal entry in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Cloud never made it into SOLDIER in ''Final Fantasy VII'', because he was mentally weak and instead became a mere infantryman. This led to Cloud being embarrassed of his failure, and he stopped keeping in contact with the people from his hometown including his mom. Cloud however did become best friends with {{ff|Zack Fair}}, who was an actual SOLDIER 1st Class.
+Contrary to his journal entry in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Cloud never made it into SOLDIER in ''Final Fantasy VII'', but instead suffered trauma during the {{ff|Nibelheim Incident}} that caused him to take on the persona of {{ff|Zack Fair}}, a friend of his who was an actual SOLDIER 1st Class. He and his allies seek to defeat Sephiroth, a legendary SOLDIER whose descent into madness led him to burn down Nibelheim, killing many people including Cloud's mother and Tifa's father.
